Or, you know, you could have kept lucasarts around. Pretty sure they were still a thing and pretty well respected at the time of the acquisition.
EDIT: Shortsighted corpo scum don’t even understand the value of the thing they spent unimaginable amounts of money on, smh.
IIRC, Lucasarts had a massive legacy reputation as a publisher, but toward the end of its life, the public perception of Lucasarts had soured after the cancellation of Star Wars Battlefront 3. According to the developer Free Radical, Lucasarts cancelled the game, didn’t pay the developer for creating a “99% finished” game, the developer went bankrupt, and then all the assets fell into Lucasarts’s hands since it was their IP. These assets were then repurposed to create Renegade Squadron for the PSP.

Damn that’s really shitty and such a shame that lucasarts would do that.
Business majors ruin everything.
No exceptions.
Didn’t Disney drop out of gaming during Iger’s first run as CEO? He seemed pretty disinterested in gaming outside of licensing IPs. Then again his opinions may have changed over the years. Not sure how I feel about EA being bought up by Disney. On the one hand, Disney gets one step closer to being an all-consuming pop culture monopoly. On the other hand, at least Disney doesn’t have a console or platform to make EA games exclusive to. Well at least not yet.
As much as EA already sucks, please god no.

Start with pushing to be a non-woke, leftist money pit first.
Better idea, you should start with learning something before trying to present your drool-coated opinions to others.
Sorry that hurt your feelings, kiddo. But I’m still not wrong.
You absolutely are, Disney made $28billion last year, a 27% increase over the previous year, and you called it a money pit. Idiot.
And I know you won’t understand this, but disagreeing with someone doesn’t mean your feelings are hurt. In this case it just means that you were wrong and likely racist/sexist/homophobic, since you cried about them being “woke.” It’s a shame your feelings are so hurt by inclusiveness though.
